Bottom line, if you want athentic and have bunches of $$$ to invest, go with the FE engine, preferably a 427 s/o first or compromise with a 428, but don't use a 385 series (429/460) engine. It's not a big block. If it's cube and torque you want, a stroker 351W is the one. Best of all in the small-block category would be an fia 289. Decisions, decisions, decisions . . .
